What to do ehh???

Everytime I asked myself this question, I'll end up doing something like this...

Chocolate muffins

Biskut raya.. tak raya pun buat jugak..

Sosej roll

Look delicious tak? Recipe available upon request only ok.. hahaha...

Yes that's right.. I'll either be baking or cooking. I guess that's something GOOD lah kan rather than sleeping or shopping or doing nothing, at least my family kenyang! Hahaha... Other half, you should be proud of me tau! And i guess that's why his waistline is gradually increasing (oppsss sorry la darling...)

Well actually I love cooking, baking and anything related to this. Guess I got it from my mum kot... tapi sometimes bila 'MALAS' datang, we'll end up makan maggi jugak kan?? hehehe...

Lands End

New entry, old story..

April 2008 our first trip of Jalan-jalan UK - CORNWALL. Very nice place worth the long journey! 6 hrs ok.. well its actually took us 8hrs to get there coz we drop by Stonehenge which is a bit out of the way..

Some of the places we visited....



Tintagel Castle - birthplace of King Arthur
Minack Theatre - MUST SEE if you visit Cornwall
Stonehenge - needless to say, one of the wonders of the world
Eden Project - how to xplain ek?? got to feel it u'rself.. Must see!!

The school

The school is Forest Fields Primary & Nursery School

The school uniform

At school with some friends
Betul ke ni sekolah kat UK, takde anak omputih pun???

Hehehe... believe it. That's forest field area.

Malaysian, Bangla, Paki, Cina, India.. semua ada...

Picnic

It's weekend again. As usual Saturday and/or Sunday is a must 'day out'. Someone suggest we go for a picnic so ok lah... PICNIC it is! Eventhough on Friday my colleague Chris a.k.a my weatherman (sbb dia ni every Friday akan check weekend weather for me.. hehehe..) said it's gonna rain on Saturday. Sebab dah plan punya pasal and anak2 dah excited dengar nk pergi picnic, we just pray it's not going to rain.

Locatian: CARSINGTON WATER. The place is quite remote somewhere in Derbyshire near Peak District. Actually tempat ni cuma reservoir jer, but they managed to commercialise the place and make money out of it. Ada visitors centre complete with all the facilities, shops, play area, picnic area, cycling and walking route, sailing boats and etc.

These are some of the nice views at Carsington Water. *Test power camera skillls*

And guess what, Chris was definitely right. Quite positive it's gonna rain! At that time how I wish I'd postponed this to Sunday but it's too late now. Hentam je lah! Hujan pun sekejap je..tapi lebat lah jugak.. Nasib baik ada payung besar! Tent Mazrul+Syam. Dapat lah tumpang berteduh masa hujan hehehe... Mekasih jugak to Black+Su for their green and red gazebos, dapat makanan and tempat BBQ berteduh..

Menyediakan 'payung' sebelum hujan.....




Yang paling seronok? Of course anak-anak ler.. No matter rain or shine.

When the rain stop, we had a walk around the area. The weather was quite cold and windy. Snap more pictures, then back to the picnic site. Perut pun dah lapar balik so makan-makan again. By the time we finished makan, the sun starts to shine again. This time it's for real.. so we lepak2 ala2 sun bathing gitu hehehe...

Me and other half

Finally we left the site around 5pm feeling so tired and smelling like BBQ chicken.....

Cuti-Cuti UK: Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

After jalan2 Durham, we went to Newcastle. Its about 30 minutes drive from Durham. Different from Durham, Newcastle is a big city just like Nottingham... maybe bigger. One thing i noticed there are lots of bridges kat Newcastle ni. Nizam kata kalau kat Newcastle kena pergi ambik gambar kat Millenium Bridge in Gateshead.



Ni lah bridge nyer. When we were on the bridge, we can feel it like shaking and moves up and down a bit - maybe to support all weights. At certain times, this bridge will be tilted up to give way to ships to pass by below. On the other end of the bridge, ada Sunday market. NOthing interesting pun. Nak beli sourvenir pun kedai tutup... So jalan2 a bit then balik.

On the way back, we drop by ANGEL OF THE NORTH. Tak tahu lah tempat apa ni, in the middle of nowhere, tapi nice lah untuk ambik gambar. Since adik is asleep, mama had to wait in the car while the rest went to take some picts with the angel...

Durham..continues

Hari ni tak pergi keje - tak sihat! Batuk, demam, selsema.. suara pun dah macam Ella nie huhuuu. So i'm taking this opportunity to update some of the picts from our trip to Durham. So here goes...

Ni gambar town Durham. Town ni kecik jer. According to my host, yang famous kat sini is the Cathederal. Patutlah sign post along the highway refer Durham as THE HISTORICAL CATHEDERAL CITY. Cathederal ni actually macam church jugak tapi bigger and ada banyak function lain kot (agaknya lah..)

Ni lah cathederal nyer.. If u look carefully ada KUBUR kat depan tu. Nampak tak? If i'm not mistaken this is one of the location they used in HARRY POTTER movie. We were here on a Sunday, so berduyun-duyun lah umat dia org ni datang utk Sunday prayer. This place is one of the tourist attraction, so admission is free. But we don't want the kids to go in.. takut jugak macam 'keras' je tempat nie. So papa and uncle Nizam jer masuk and took some pictures..

Nampak tak dua kereta putih tu? The white MPV is ours - that's a Chrysler Voyager and Mercedes putih sebelah tu kereta 2N.

Pictures taken from inside and around the cathederal.

Then we walk to the town, dekat jer. Because it's a bank holiday so kedai semua tutup. So again.. we just posing2 a little bit. Town ni pedestrian safe zone, kereta tak boleh masuk. So the kids are safe to run around. Pictures around Durham town centre...
